Bonjour/Hi!
I am a PhD student in computer science at Harvard University, where I am advised by Prof. Milind Tambe. I work in the research area of AI for Societal Impact, and I'm supported by an FRQNT Doctoral Scholarship.
I completed my bachelor's and master's degrees in mathematics and computer science at McGill University. Prof. Prakash Panangaden and Prof. Doina Precup supervised my master's research, and together we designed fast algorithms for decision making from human data (reinforcement learning and value alignment were the core topics). I left McGill during the 2024--2025 academic year to pursue research at the Center for Human-Compatible AI (UC Berkeley) and then Stanford University.
I am lucky to be a graduate student. I get to explore where algorithms and societal challenges intersect. Often this involves partnerships with public-interest organizations. I've worked with the GovAI Coalition, a network of government officials in the United States, to design responsible AI standards, and with the Democratic Engagement Exchange, a non-partisan political group in Canada.
Please email me if there's anything you would like to discuss!
Thanks,
Jonathan
